G'Day mates!
Ok I need a little bit of advice. I am in Brisbane at the moment and I am heading off in two weeks to do some traveling. I am wanting to head up north towards Cairns and I am wondering about places I should stop and see on the way? I have alot of time and a bit of money saved I will need to work on my travels.
So I am also wondering if anyone knows of a good fun place to pick fruit so I can get my seasonal 3 work out of the way so I can stay another year if I decide I would like to? I have heard you can have alot of fun doing it and meet alot of great backpackers while doing it so I need some suggestions of where I can go to do this.
My next question is how I should get up north should I take the bus and stop off and see some places? Should I take the train and an I able to buy a ticket where I am allowed stop overs? I guess I would like to take the cheapest route I can where I am able to experience new places at the same time.
Ok I hope to hear from you soon......
I'm also open to any tips anybody might have for doing some seasonal work. I wouldn't have picked Cairns as a prime spot though - think of the heat! From my experience of Australia so far, I'd have said Maragret River in the SW or around that region may be a good location though - plenty of work down there and well paid, from what I've heard. Anyway, I don't really know more then that, so any tips will be eagerly appreciated by me as well!
the sunshine coast has strawberri packing and picking going now pm me if you want more info and accom my wife works on a farm in our road
Bne > Noosa > Fraser Island > Airlie Beach > Magnetc Island > Cardwell / Hinchinbrook Island > Mission Beach > Cairns. Check Bundaberg & Bowen for fruit & vegs picking.
hi melissa,
i'm also in brisbane (living) ATM and looking to do a trip up to cairns in about two weeks (leaving around the 15th/16th). i've got a 5 seater station wagon and two seats are taken, but we're looking to cut the gas cost down. based on the car specs, it should cost no more than about $400 each way from bris-cairns (i'd have to get back to brissy by june 30). i'm looking to get hopefully 4 people and maybe even the maximum 5, so it'd be no more than $100/person each way. obviously, you could just stay up there if you wanted. let me know ASAP if this sounds good and maybe we'll be in touch.
